I see. So this discussion has nothing to do whatsoever in casting manipulation/manipulators in either a positive or negative light. It only serves to add another label to a specific group.

Women = manipulators.

Got it. *** forbid we view one another as individuals rather than products of gross stereotypes.

There it is again, Ali, the truth is the truth, you can cry and complain how unfair it is to point out the truth all you want but at the end of the day what does sticking your head in the sand accomplish?

Did we as a Nation pretend things like Slavery didn't exist? Sure we did, that is how they expanded and got worse. When we finally faced the truth of slavery and decided we should act on it we were able to deal with it.

What, this dispute is some kind of a contest? And you're arrogant enough to declare YOURSELF the "winner"? What's the grand prize....a fukking quilt?

Ghey.

On the upside....hey RO, I think you may have found yourself a new arch! ;)

Well is football a kind of contest?

The word game is very much a contest, do you really believe RO thought my mistaken use of a 'Q' instead of a 'G' deserved many, many postings Ali?

When it is not done in anger, I love the word game, if there are real hurt feelings and anger I try to walk away from it because to me that is not fun.

Fun Ali, that is always the point, at least for me.

What is happening with me and you is you are hurt, you feel a need for revenge with me over your hurt feelings so this is the result. Your posts have the nasty edge to them in your persuit of that revenge.

Ali.....i DO NOT HATE YOU.

In fact I like you in many ways, I just toss my hands in the air when we get to this nasty edge that I do not understand because frankly, I have never thought that way myself so I can't put myself in your shoes where I would behave in this way.

I want peace with you, but I will not be a different person than who I am just to please you. I do not function that way Ali, I do this for enjoyment, not to hurt people. If your trying to hurt someone, somehow I feel that is a terrible waste of your life.

And on topic, this is another form of manipulation your using Ali.

If a conversation is not taking a direction you like you turn nasty to derail it.

Point made.

If you want the use of stereotypes to end, stop proving them right.

You're actually going to compare your little "ALL women are manipulators" rant to the horrors of slavery?

You find the two topics to be of equal weight and importance?

HAHAHA! Wow.

Did you read all that in a Hallmark card? Was it in the "Why can't we just get along?" section?

Yeah...you should probably stop worrying about what you THINK I'm feeling. That's a terrible waste of YOUR life.

I am sorry but that was uncalled for, I just cannot believe you would joke about something like that and place me in that kind of category Joe.

I am not mad, but I am dissapointed in you for that.

Sorry TJ, but that knocked you down about 20 points on the respect-o-meter.

No it was just an example of how things do not change by ignoring reality. You preach ignoring reality, I don't.

Your actions define you my dear, no real thinking on my part needed.

Well you try anyway.

Actually you did a pretty good job of it, as usual.

It is my possition that women are far superior in the manipulative arts and men are mostly just clueless on what is happening to them.

Getting back to the subject at hand...

Well, if you're a man who is the victim of a manipulative woman, the solution is simple.

1) GET a clue.

2) Don't reward bad behavior.

The end.
